Basic Words and Characters

Approximately 500. basic words. with their Chinese
characters in the modern simplified form. are
progressively introduced in groups according to
sound. As far as possible. the examples given for
each vowel or consonant group ca n be identified
from the cartoon .

100 Pinyin words with two syllables are also listed

and explained .

Hanyu Pinyin. the Romanized Chinese phonetic

System . is considered the most effective aid to
learning Mandarin today. It is precise and accurate
.
and compared to other Romanizations, such as
Wade-Giles and Yale . it is less complicated and
thus more easily learnt.
The system reads and writes easily . using fewer
letters per sound than any other system . As an
additional guide to proper pronunciation . simple
tone marks are placed over the vowels.

Cartoons
Learning Pinyin is really no drudgery. and cartoons
have been used throughout for the dual function:
to amuse and to teach . Almost effortlesslY , it is
possible to learn the Pinyin spelling. pronunciation
and pitch of each word . as well as its meaning and
Chinese character - at the same time.

So flip these pages. be inspired , learn and have

fun!

Pinyin Made Simple

This book demonst rates the simplest way to
master Pinyin. It analyzes the system . breaking
down the sounds into simple vowels. compound
vowels, and consonants.
First things first. The 4 tones are introduced . after
which comes the pronunciation of each vowel and
consonant component of one-syllable words.

THE FOUR TONES

Chinese is a tonal language. Every Chinese

character is a syllable with a fixed tone. If the tone
is wrong, the meaning is changed right away. and
in some cases corresponds with no existing
Chinese character!

;;;

2nd tone

Mandarin . the official Chinese language. has four

basic tones: each one is indicated by a tone mark .
The tone marks are placed over the vowels. If the
letter '"j" has a tone mark over it. the dot is
om itted.

The first tone is a high continuous tone.

like the reciting o f " A BCD. etc."

3rd tone

The second tone is a rising questioning

tone, like a surprised " Huh?"
The third tone is a drawling tone. first
falling then riSing. like an indecisive
" Well .. "
The fourth tone is a sharp falling tone.
like a purposeful " Yes!"

Generally . all particles. interjections. pronouns after

verbs. and other words whkh do not carry
important concrete meanings in a sentence. have
the neutral tone.
The tone mark for the neutral tone may either be a
small d rcle ,0 l over the vowel. or a dot ' I
preceding the syllable. Usually. however. no mark is
necessary.

h
r

We're now ready td deal with the 5th tone _ the

neutral tone.

66

The neutral tone is light. soft and short. unlike any of

the 4 basic tones. It is pronounced in a re/axtd way .
without any stress. and varies in pitch according to the
tone of the preceding syllable.

Apart from the 4 bask tones. there is a 5th tone in

Mandarin: the neutral tone.

In Mandarin. there are only a few characters with a

definite neutral to.ne. They carry no concrete
meaning of their Own. being functional only as
suffixes. Here is a list:

The following is a list of two-syllable words where

only the 1st syllable is stressed. In each example
given below. the tone o f the 2nd syllable has been
neutralized for effective oral emphasis.
